MOST PREP SAT CLASS
Faith Lutheran is proud to announce a new SAT preparation partnership with the founder and president of MostPrep, Mike Obstgarten. He will be running 6-week prep courses at 6:45 to 9:15pm in room 216 for juniors and seniors specifically for the SAT starting this summer for $600. Students interested in prepping for the ACT should still take this course as the exams are now similar enough that specific ACT courses are not necessary. This full-length course provides ample instruction and review of the concepts most frequently tested on the SAT, as well as the coaching and implementation of the test-taking techniques that have been proven to work, all while dispelling common myths and reassuring students that the task in front of them is not as daunting as it might seem. To sign up please fill out the form at this link a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the start of the class you are interested in. REGISTER The total $600 for the class will be added to your tuition bill once the class has begun. Contact Mr. Buikema at buikemad@flhsemail.org or Mike directly at mostprep@gmail.comwith questions.

DEVOTIONAL
Daily Lectionary: Jeremiah 26:1-19; Matthew 26:20-35
Baptism is not just plain water…(The Small Catechism: Baptism, Part 1)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. “Baptism is not just plain water” but it is plain water—plus. Plus the command of God. Plus the Word of God. Plus the promises of God.
The Word commands Baptism. It also commends Baptism. The command is that we receive this gift and that we bestow this gift on others. The commendation is that in these waters we participate in Jesus’ death and resurrection and through this washing receive forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation.
Our human nature often complicates the simplest things. Witness the fits and starts in our relationships with others or the mental and spiritual gymnastics we perform rather than simply confessing sins and receiving forgiveness from God and from others.
But in simple water’s application according to the pure Word of God, we receive simple, pure, and absolute reconciliation with the Lord. There are no complex plans or difficult deeds remaining. God already worked out the plan and Jesus executed its deeds to absolute perfection.
Why complicate the plain truth? Plain water and God’s plain Word translate plain old sinners into saints and heirs of eternal life. In our daily remembrance of our Baptisms, we confess our sins with plain, unvarnished honesty so that we may plainly hear God tell us His plain and simple truth: “I forgive you all your sins.”
Has this been plain enough? In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. -Rev. Walter Snyder
Gracious Lord, I give thanks that in Holy Baptism I receive forgiveness of sins, deliverance from death and the devil, and eternal salvation. Bless me continually by Your Word and Spirit that I may faithfully keep the covenant into which I have been called, boldly confess my Savior, and finally share with all Your saints the joys of eternal life; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. (Adapted from Collect for the Anniversary of a Baptism, LSB
